J, May 24.—The Rev. Dr. & Travena Jackson, pastor of Trinity Metho- Gist Chureh, says that marriages are falling off because girls nowa- days expect too much. “I am kept fairly busy burying persons,” sald he to-day, “but I still have plenty of time which I | would gladly devote to marrying young people.

From my own observa- tion I judge that the same thing 1° true of many professional women and women engaged in philanthropic work. I have found that men have & deep respect for such women and speak highly of them; but for the most part they leave them severely alone. One-half of my college classmates have married, but I frankly belfeve that the other half never will; and yet there are as many thoroughly wholesome and attractive women among the unmarried classmates as among the married ones.

I know that I cannot re- member a time when I did not pie- ture myself at the head of a home, an honored wife and e happy mother, Neither have I cared for wealth, nor have I ever measured men by thet etanderd. The first years of my teaching were spefit in a smell town in a nearby State. I econ found that in that town @ social ban was laid upon teachers and in fact on any girl who was earning her own living. The notion amused me, but it did not worry me, for I was happy in my work. When I came back to New York to teach I found that the majority of the men with whom I was asso- already married.

In the church which I bave at- tended for six years, and to which I was attracted by the splendid ser- mons, I have met no young men whatever. I know, of course; that there are Many unworthy men in this city, but I am also sure that there are many really fine and morally worthy ones. In spite of all the reports of evil in these present days, I am firmly con- vinced that the sum of good in the world is conetantly increasing. But I have often been puzsied by the very question which a young unl- versity man of twenty-five put to me last summer: “Why is it that so many of the women who would really make the best wives never seem to have @ chance to marry, while s0 many foollsh women who have noth- ing save physical attraction by which to hold @ husband seem to be the only ones who win them?’ I laugh- ingly told him that {f men could not answer that question I was eure 1 could not.
